can someone explain how you upgrade firmware through cvt files. aren’t you supposed to run the exe. i mean all the firmware you dload comes in the .exe. but i keep hearing flashing with cvt’s. i’m confused.

grazie. now to clarify a few things to see if i’m on the right page here. i got a OEM g firmware. now the first thing i do is update to the newest g firmware from Benq website or is that not necessary. now if i want to cross flash to become a retail, i would have to dload the windwflash.exe and use that with one of the cvt files, say the b7p9. once i do that, i can then update to the newest benq firmware, which is the b7t9. so to recap.

get the latest g firmware before cross flashing or is this optional

cross flash using windwflash with a cvt file. which one would you recommend, the newest or b7p9
3)once the cross flash is done, i should dload the newest retail firmware, the b7t9 and flash the drive with that.

would these steps be about right for making the OEM into a retail Benq 1620 pro or i’m a missing something.

also, if i want to make all the discs region free, do i use the RPC1 utility after i flash it to the retail firmware, b7p9 or b7t9. i’m a bit unsure as to when to do this.

get the latest g firmware before cross flashing or is this optional No need

cross flash using windwflash with a cvt file. which one would you recommend, the newest or b7p9 any one
3)once the cross flash is done, i should dload the newest retail firmware, the b7t9 and flash the drive with that.B7U9

Don’t be afraid to flash twice the last firmware (restart your computer between each flash).

I am glad people answer these post as I bought a 1620 bulk today and got totally confused looking through all the post. Found this thread and I have gotten it to Retail F/W B7T9 from G7xx and am now going to try B7U9.

This BenQ/Philips forum lacks a general FAQ. I heard that it is being made but rather than waiting for the full manual we can begin to create one on our own.
The NEC forum FAQ can be a good example.http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread.php?t=120934

It would definitely help! I spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out how to flash without messing up my drive. Actually I ended up following chas0039 around the forum as he was asking pretty much the same questions. Did get my drive succesfully flashed to B7U9.
